No no, this was the full fledged aluminum foil hat. "They" had her son preserved in formaldehyde.... It was a bit much before my first cuppa coffee. All of the other customers were giving her a wide berth, so guess where I had to stand??

Ah, the problem is related to the fact that its a "new" Jaguar....you have to be facing Detroit when you put it under your chin...that way Henry F can pass the signal through your brain (he'll also plant a subliminal message to buy Ford).

That...or, "Eat More Toffee!" the price of which has risen considerably...a tooth-breaker, that is! New meaning for "Chin Up!"

I have a car from a company who shall remain nameless... has the penche keyless deal. So one day I happen to have an identical second car from said nameless company and I did a little experimenting. The lock deal from car A would not open car B but.... if car B was open and I sat in it while holding the key for car A I was able to start the car.... This little feature has been brought to the attention to the proper people up the food chain.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that they've made these things too complicated. Use a dang key. Since SWMBO doesn't have to actually have the key in hand I can't count how many times she's thrown it in the seat and lost it in the normal pigpen that surrounds two small kids... she'll go for days without locking it because the key is somewhere in the car.
It is quite an anti-theft device....

As a follow up on this, I noticed my co-worker getting into her jag...and, figuring all was well, asked: "So, did you have the key replaced?...or fixed...or something?"
She replied, "No, I just don't lock it now!" But I do have a spare key!"
Obviously, over-engineered, and not doing any "typical" owner, any good! I lock old "Diesela" just to run into the quickie mart, and I'm not even afraid of losing all my coupons in the back seat! I guess I'm definitely old school.
